Can I transfer my Functional Skills DCS status from another Awarding Organisation?

If you already offer Functional Skills with another Awarding Organisation and have Direct Claim Status, transferring it to us is a simple process. Just fill out our DCS transfer document and submit it alongside an EQA report through our online form.

The EQA report must be no more than 12 months old and be from your previous Awarding Organisation. We will also need details of a contact at your previous AO. This will be used in the event that we need to verify the status of your previous DCS.

To meet assurance standards, we will conduct a 5% sample within the first two months of the transfer.
